The short answer
- Not rated by Medicare: CMS rates only the providers it certifies, and this one isn’t Medicare-certified
- Not read what inspectors found: the state’s list doesn’t carry it
Each figure’s source sits beside it, in its section below.
What these words mean3
- Not read
- The file this site reads doesn’t carry what inspectors found, so nothing is counted here. It doesn’t mean the place has a clean record: the state’s own site may have its reports. Source: How this site reads each source.
- Inspection (survey)
- A visit by state inspectors, often unannounced, who check a place against the rules it must meet. For nursing homes and other places Medicare pays, CMS calls these visits surveys: a standard survey of a nursing home comes at least every 15 months, and a complaint survey whenever a complaint calls for one. Source: CMS; 42 CFR 488.308.
- Deficiency, citation, violation
- What inspectors write up when a place didn’t meet a rule: the rule, what they saw, and when. CMS calls it a deficiency; states may say citation or violation. It is the inspectors’ finding, not a court’s, and the place is usually asked for a plan to correct it. Source: CMS, statement of deficiencies (Form CMS-2567); each state’s licensing agency.
What did inspectors find?
DIAL’s Entity Search carries no inspection results, so this page can’t say what inspectors found. Iowa’s Department of Inspections, Appeals, and Licensing says: “To find inspection reports and fine information, visit the Health Facilities database.” Its page for this one is linked here.

How do patients fare?
- CMS rates only Medicare-certified hospitals, so no CMS rating is shown here; Iowa publishes no rating in this list.
Is it licensed, or certified?
- Hospital, licensed by Iowa’s Department of Inspections, Appeals, and Licensing.
- DIAL’s database types it “Hospital-Licensed Only” and gives it no CCN, so it isn’t Medicare-certified. CMS’s files list only the hospitals Medicare certifies, so no CMS CMS rates some kinds of place from 1 to 5 stars, more stars meaning better on CMS’s own measures for that kind: for a nursing home, its health inspections, staffing and quality measures. A rating is CMS’s summary of those measures; it doesn’t promise good care. Source: CMS, Care Compare and the Five-Star Quality Rating System., survey or inspection covers this one, and none is shown or compared.
- DIAL’s entity type: Hospital-Licensed Only.
- First licensed Jun 9, 2025.

Has the state acted against it?
- DIAL’s Entity Search carries no enforcement actions; its Health Facilities database’s compliance records aren’t read here.
What do patients say about their care?
- Iowa publishes no staffing levels in this list, and CMS’s staffing measures cover only certified hospitals.
Who owns it?
- This list doesn’t name owners.
How does it compare nearby?
- Not compared: CMS’s measures cover only the hospitals Medicare certifies, and this state’s list publishes no measure of its own to compare.
What the record doesn’t say
- Iowa licenses every hospital, and DIAL’s database gives each one’s CCN and types the hospitals it licenses only “Hospital-Licensed Only”. This page is one DIAL types so, or one with no CCN that a check row by row found in none of CMS’s files: so no CMS rating or inspection covers it.
- CMS’s files list only the hospitals Medicare certifies, so no CMS star rating, survey or inspection covers this one, and none is shown or compared.
- DIAL’s Entity Search carries no inspection results, so this page can’t say what inspectors found. Iowa’s Department of Inspections, Appeals, and Licensing says: “To find inspection reports and fine information, visit the Health Facilities database.” Its page for this one is linked here.

Checked Oct 20, 2026. Updated weekly. No licence stated, and iowa.gov’s policies grant nothing. Asked on Oct 19, 2026 whether its Entity Search and each facility’s public page may be read weekly, at one request a second, DIAL wrote the same day: “That website is updated daily with facility information as needed, so you are free to access it whenever you wish as it is public record.”.
